Incredible Tycoon Game
Such a fun game, I love that the business aspects are customizable but you don’t customize the cities and look of the game. I get overwhelmed when there’s too much customization. It’s incredibly easy to play, you just have to trial and error what works and what doesn’t.
The reason why I’m giving it 4 stars is that I think it can be improved to be even better than it already is. My two problems are that sometimes it feels repetitive because I can’t manage all of my stores in one place and sometimes I don’t know what is happening in the world because I didn’t see or get a notification. I know I can go to the office and click on locations without traveling there but sometimes I want to set all of the marketing or remodel the same without having to do it manually. For notifications, I wish you could see the newspaper again after you exit it out and see ongoing political races and legislation instead of having to go to the city to see if a legislation vote or mayoral race is happening. I also sometimes don’t know where money from my investments is coming from.
Managing: You should be able to manage all stores from your offices. Right now, you can only set the same products and prices at all of your stores from the Product department. You should be able to pick all or some stores to edit. I also want to be able to set all of the marketing the same, set what I’m delegating to all of the store managers the same, remodel multiple stores at once. I hate when I open multiple stores at once and then have to go to each of them and set the marketing to what I want it to be because the store managers do less than what I want. I also realized I should start remodeling my stores but I don’t want to have to go to each individually to do that. You should also be able to do all of this at specific stores you pick, not just all of them.
Notifications: As I said earlier, I wish you could see the newspaper again and have a tab to view ongoing mayoral races and legislation votes. You could even add a lobbying department where you can view and manage this kind of stuff. Sometimes I forget where a convention is happening and I don’t go because I don’t want to go to every city trying to find it. For my investments, one time I got 1,000,000,000 and I had no clue where it came from, I didn’t see anything about companies I was invested in when I got the newspaper. You should add more of a breakdown of your income that week like what cities are making the most money, which investments made you money, etc. For other investments, I wish you could see how every college ranks and which to invest in, how sports teams are doing and which you should buy instead of having to travel to each city to look at the school and team.
I also wish there was more interaction with competitors. It just feels like they’re there to take stores and offices you’d wanna buy, not like you’re actually competing against them. Once you get enough money, you just keep opening stores and investing. Theres not much to it late game. You’re not seeing what competitors marketing plan is, where they’re successful, what they’re developing.
As I said before, incredible game, these are just aspects to make it more playable long term so it feels less repetitive and you have a greater awareness of what’s going on everywhere. I know I made a lot of suggestions, but I really think these would be worth it because it gives players more freedom.

Too Slow
Main Complaint:
It’s a good game in concept. And while early game you need to micromanage and therefore the week by week play doesn’t feel constricting, mid to late game however (or even late early game, or early mid game if you’ve got a stable economy going on) when projects take years to complete, it’s a must to have an option to skip multiple weeks at a time so that we’re not clicking 3 buttons (date, yes, (wait for newspaper to finish loading), x out of screen) to just get to the next week, then times that by the amount of times needed depending on how many weeks / years your R&D takes. It’s just boring clicking at that point
Quality of Life idea:
It would be great for each office specific phrases to get a small ℹ️ info bubble (or really anything that aren’t commonly used day to day) so that we can learn what it means, even if it’s only available if we have tutorial option open, since I don’t want to have to go out of the app just to look up what each term means individually, really takes away the immersion
Overall I’d give it:
Early game: 4.5 stars - very fun, lots to do and keep track of
Mid game: 4 stars - the main complaint issue I mentioned starting to feel burdensome
Late game: 3 stars - main complaint is extremely burdensome by this point

Fun But Lacking
I really love this game but it is frustrating to not have balance sheets or income breakdowns per week. The totals are confusing.
Fun, loopy game
Wish there was more tutorial aspects. Lots of guesswork goes into gameplay (guessing and Reddit)
Best business management game
If a game has anything to do with making money and growing your business I like it. This game covers that and has all the fun details with it. Building stock and real estate portfolios that you can generate never ending wealth. Buying plantations and creating plant types to sell and increasing profits more.
Only thing i wish it had was more business options. For example being able to own the car dealerships and create that into another business or being able to run for mayor of cities or even president of countries.
